Jesus Night – April 22nd

The Fellowship Hall is open at 6:00 pm for Church Family Dinner and/or to hang out. Jesus Night starts at 7:00 pm. If we want more people to interact with Jesus Christ we should be involved. Please pray and ask the Holy Spirit to help you identify who you should share Jesus with. Think about it and jot down some ideas. Pray about it more. Our monthly “Jesus Nights” give an opportunity to invite people who would be interested in hearing you share your Jesus-story. Our other upcoming Jesus Night is May 27.

Pentecost Sunday – May 24th

This year at least 10 churches will be gathering for Pentecost Sunday. Childcare will be provided! We’re looking for singers to join the Pentecost Sunday choir.

Sharing Life Together

Pastor’s Weekly

Please take a moment to reflect on 1 Peter 1:18-19 and 1 John 5:11–13. This truth is powerful and uplifting!

Rebecca and I are so happy to hear that many of you are enjoying the warmer weather and spring break for some. Our celebration of Jesus as Savior this weekend is going to be a highlight of the year. Please invite someone.

Last Sunday there were a few private answers to prayer that were exciting! God hears and responds to us. If you missed the message on March 29th you may find it particularly encouraging. https://cityharborchurch.com/say-it/

Sharing Jesus

Are you ready to share the most valuable thing in your life with your neighbors, coworkers, and friends? Parents, your children have classmates whose families need to know what you care about most. Jesus Christ our Savior King is the most valuable relationship we have. Studies show that on certain dates people are more inclined to investigate Christianity. Please pray about this! Please invite people to hear Jesus stories and/or to one of our services.

Prayer Topics

Write a list of people that you know who are not yet Jesus followers. Pray over the list Monday through Friday (you can divide a large list over the 5 days so that you are praying for different names each day). On Saturday, pray asking God to show you how you can share your testimony of salvation with them.

Good to Know

“Life in Christ” Relevant to Colossians 1:4 “The word pistis means ‘faith’, but also ‘reliability’, ‘loyalty’ and so on. For Paul, it seems to be all of the above, and more besides. This isn’t just a matter of intellectual assent to propositions or an emotional response to Jesus, though both of these are vital. It’s about loyalty, trustworthiness. Again, this is what the church is by definition, as well as what church members must no live up to.” “The word pistois, meaning ‘faithful’ or ‘loyal’ goes closely with ‘in the Messiah Jesus’. Christos in early Christianity carries the full weight of ‘the anointed one’, the Messiah. Part of the point there is that the Messiah, the true king, represents his people, so that what is true of him becomes true of them. So the phrase ‘believing loyally in Messiah Jesus’ isn’t just about the belief which affirms the truth of the gospel. It is about the faith which, in justification, marks someone out as a member of that family. Ephesians will be expounding what that means.” – N. T. Wright The Vision of Ephesians
